WORK IN PROGRESS - Spaceship Design

This project is an exercise for me to develop ideas from an initial form or shape. As pictured, I have taken a kitchen sieve and have altered the design/form of it to the point where it could be considered an ergonomically suitable spaceship. This project is still a work in progress, however I would like to update this thread here as I continue to work on it. By the end of this project I aim to have a fully rendered, realistic spaceship design.

Currently, I am starting to research other ships in Film/TV to gain a sense for the ship's aesthetic and style. Once that is finished, I plan to begin more modelling of the ship, then texturing and rendering.

I have also began researching and experimenting with displacement maps, and am amazed at how powerful it can be. I will be sure to continue to develop and experiment with them as the project goes on.

8K Displacement map test, to see how detailed I can get a texture map. 4K Diffuse + Metalness, 8K Normal + Disp in total.
